The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hammersmith and Fulham we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not understanding the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously don't start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Should you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the practical skills and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

This was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about sunrise and nobody was around. It was pretty uneventful thus far, and me and Brian were sitting about perusing a number of old newspapers. It was an uncommon restful time in Hammersmith and Fulham. Actually it was that quiet that the moment the phone inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The voice stated: "I completed my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel clean white Volvo S70 in error". We instructed him to let us know just where the vehicle was located and we headed out, arriving in Lambeth no more than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he said thank you for getting there so rapidly. As we were heading back to the office we spotted two ladies at the edge of the road who seemed like they suffered a puncture. So we got out to change it, to their elation.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
